Shander Cave and Neanderthals
According to Alastronomi website, the cave is located between latitude 23 mattresses and 13 minutes from the east. In addition, the door to the cave is overlooking the sun during the day and is protected from the winter cold air in the north, this has become one of the reasons why humans chose this place to live.

The Area of Shander is estimated to be 1282 square meter. In 1951 the cave was examined by archaeologist Sulky. In Result, 9 skeletons were found of Neanderthal Human, one of a child, another is a woman, and the rest belonged to men. This shows that this cave has been inhabited by humans for 60 to 70 thousand years. This history goes back to the last ice age (Firm) and consists of fishermen and food collectors. They hunt cows, pigs and other animals. Additionally, fire for night lighting and other purposes, coal, and pottery (14 meters underground).

The Fourth and Sixth Skeletons were surrounded by flowers and this proves that the first nation focused on flowers, which is known as Bradost civilization.
